General

One of the original retired templates provided by Turbine. Though you can still create a character to these exact specifications you will not receive the old starting title. Its description in the Asheron's Call Manual is as follows:

Blademasters are expert with swords and knives. A blademaster begins the game with a practice sword, practice throwing weapons, and a practice knife. A blademaster's attributes are weighted toward Strength, Coordination, and Quickness. Blademasters have specialized skills in Melee Defense and Sword. They are trained in Appraise Weapon, Dagger, Jump, Magic Defense, Run, and Thrown Weapons.
